Pooch Palaces

by on Jan 2, 2007

In addition to play houses, La Petite Maison custom builds dog houses, which means your doggie’s dream house can be designed to his, hers and your specific needs and tastes.

Want a Victorian dog house? You got it. Contemporary? No problem. How about an exact replica of your own home? Yeah, you can have that too.

As far as amenities, some pooch pads may include marble floors, tract lighting, copper roofs, bay windows, and central air, to name just a few.

Because these mini-mansions are custom built, La Petite Maison does not mention cost on their website. Perhaps it’s one of those if-you-have-to-ask-you-can’t-afford deals, which is also often one of those if-you-have-to-ask-it-might-be-an-extravagance deals.

Sure, these little lodgings are as cute as heck, but I just have one question. As dogs are pack animals, wouldn’t Fido be happier on an old rug in a noisy kitchen than watching HBO in air-conditioned solitude?
